"in my wildest fantasy,"

here's a good rule of thumb to help understand right-wing speech.

especially foxnews, donnie, etc.


any time they make what sounds like a factual statement, just mentally insert the words "in my wildest fantasy," to the front of the sentence.


it all makes much more sense.


try it!

for example, donnie just tweeted how "many people" are disappointed in the justice department for not investigating hillary. crazy, right?
but "in my wildest fantasy, many people are disappointed with the justice department for not investigating hillary."

ah, ok, that makes sense.



conveniently, it makes a good retort, as well!
